terday's Ledger.
h foregoing paragraph from yester
days Ledger was shown q member of IN,
Jacksonian club. He said:
"The Jacksonian club does not manac,
ther ~ecepton.as apolitical organization, bu,
as citizens. 1t was organized, capable O.
perfecting plans and putting them into OK
%ecution, and menely took the initiative. 81
far as that is concerned, the club M nc
many citizens would, under similar cir
c%umstances welcnme a returning president
II he never voted the Democratic ticket in
his life! 1t is purely n tribute to the indi-
vidual man and hero of the people.
AS TO that slur about invitations, n
more wilful and malicious falsehood was
never printed, But sevcnty-ive invita-.
tons were sent, and they merely for the
purpose OF a~sccrtaining for whom il would
be necessary tot provide carriages for con-
veyance to aud from the depot. The time
was short, appointments were made from
among the citizens, and the invitation was
sent notifying them OF such appointment
and rsluesting nm immediate reply, Tor
whichy Uhrpose nm additional postal
card was inclosed. One of those invi-
tations nnd postal cards was mailed to the
editor VI the Ledger, and this is probably
wherestho idea originated that everybody
was invited. Replies were received from
every man in the city invited, except the
everybody OF the Ledger, and the rocep-
ton committee IL a representative one,
outside OF the Jacksonian club. As will DO
seen, politics play no part, the colored pco-
pie taking a lively interest"
